1920s Mantel in Mahogany and Walnut

A stepped and boxed framework mantel in mahogany is typical of the 1920's pieces made by the firm of Balfours in Beith, Scotland

This piece (design # 10017) displays the fine design and craftsmanship which gained the firm its reputation and features book matched, burr walnut panels in the legs and central frieze section.

Under their trade name of
Beithcraft, Balfours became the dominant mantelpiece manufacturers in Scotland for many years. They were one of several cabinet makers centred on Beith and were often engaged in making pieces for the large ocean liners built on Clydeside such as the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary.
